“Not that they’re that much worse, but their behavior and track record is not what Mick‘s is.”
— Tom Werman on comparing Mick Mars to Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil

Metal Sludge — In a brand new interview music producer Tom Werman talks about his time working with the band Mötley Crüe.

Werman worked with the band on 3 of their releases between 1983 and 1987, and gave listeners a bit of his preference when it comes to working with the band.

As most readers know, there is a current feud between the band’s co-founding guitarist Mick Mars and the band (Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil) since he departed in October of 2022.

Below is some of what Werman said on The Chuck Shute Podcast, as shared on Blabbermouth.

Werman, who produced three of MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s biggest albums — “Shout At The Devil” (1983),“Theatre Of Pain” (1985) and “Girls, Girls, Girls” (1987),weighed in on Mick‘s dispute with his bandmates during an appearance on the latest episode of “The Chuck Shute Podcast”. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, [it’s] three against one. I really don’t know, but Nikki [Sixx, CRÜE bassist] and Tommy [Lee, CRÜE drummer], I think, have the lion’s share of the interest in the band, the financial interest.”

He continued: “Mick was my favorite guy. We really got along and worked very well together. He’s a good guy… He’s a very decent person. The other three are somewhat different. Not that they’re that much worse, but their behavior and track record is not what Mick‘s is. I’m in his corner, but I really don’t know the facts, so I shouldn’t really make any judgment.”
